would love your input!

Hello ladies and gents I'm new to this site and would love feedback from anyone who could help. First off I'm a stay at mom who is looking to go back to school at the University of Texas in Arlington; to be able work in a hospital setting as a CNA or PCT in the mom and baby unit. What exactly would be the tasks both of those positions would have to do in a works day/night? How did you manage finding a position a hospital and get hired off the bat? what is the pay like for these two careers? And if I ever wanted to further my career to obtain a job position as a RN what's the steps to take? Which of the two is a better option to be able to advance in to a better position? What other types of jobs are there in l&d unit besides doctors and nurses? Any experience in your behalf? What's your story? Thanks ☺

    You might want to think about becoming a surgical tech with a specialization in OBGyn. This career is in high demand in the Northeast. It is usually a one year program with OR clinicals. You can further your education using tuition reimbursement through your employer after graduation and then you would be a very desirable candidate to an employer needing Mother Baby RNs.

    The CNA/PCT route will not guarantee you an OB position unless you have strong connections who will help you get hired in that dept. It is a very desirable place to work.

    To be hired at a hospital as a CNA in ANY area would most likely require at the very least 6 months experience in a long term care facility.

    CNA/PCT postions in a hospital are difficult to get into....let alone a CNA in maternity. It's not impossible, but you will have to be persistant and it will most certainly NOT happen right out of CNA training.....and likely not even 1 yr out of training....
